Okay. >> All right. I think we are ready to start this planning meeting of the Anchorage Advisory Committee. Today is Monday, March 30th. It is 9:00 a.m. Let's do the pledge of allegiance. >> I aliance to the flag of the United
States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> That's no, you're good.
>> Okay, let's do um roll call. Sam Lurri, >> John Wesley Nash, >> Chris Rel King, >> Ted Lawill, >> John Mlan, >> Curtis Lewig, >> and we have Ed Skoonover who is
available remotely. So, may I have a motion and a vote to accept Ed joining this meeting? >> I move. >> I second it. >> Okay, we have a motion from Sam and a second from John. All in favor say I.
>> I. All right, Ed, can you hear us? >> Yeah, I can hear you just fine. >> Perfect. We can hear you. Okay. Uh, we have a lot of loose ends to go through today. So, um, Curtis, do you
want to start by talking about the name tags you showed me? >> Yes, absolutely. Um, do you have that piece of paper? >> I do have that piece of paper. So, um,
we reached out to the company that makes the name tags for council and, um, here for the town. Um, we they sent us two examples. We asked for two different styles. Um and
um I think that we like the oval one and um I got approval from the um town manager that we can uh get our name tax. We have to pay pay for it out of our out of our pot of money um that we have and we have to
use the one that does not that does not have the logo. So, um, it's going to have your name, Anchorage, Anchorage Advisory Committee member, and then the town of Fort Myers Beach underneath it. So, >> terrific.
>> We will get moving on this ASAP today and try to get an order out as soon as we can. And we told them we need a quick turnaround. So, hopefully we might have these in time for the the plan is to have them in time for um the event >> on the 12th.
like >> um no that that is just from the chamber. >> Oh, that's a chamber one. Okay. >> Yeah, the Fort Ry's chamber. >> It looks it looks similar. >> This is similar to what the council have. It's the oval shape but without the logo because as an advisory
committee, we don't get to use the logo to represent ourselves. So, everybody okay with this? Ed, I'm not sure if you can see it. It's very small. >> Can't really see it, but I'm okay. >> Okay. Um, do you know what that cost is
going to be, Curtis? >> Um, yes. It's going to be under under $100. I think they come out to if you round up like $13 a piece. >> Okay. >> So, >> all right. Um, what about the fact that we have an open seat? Will we be able to
get, you know, sort of like a template one and then it can be engraved when we have our new committee member? Um, yeah, we can look into that option or when that new committee member comes, we just order Okay. >> order the name tag. >> I didn't know if there was a separate setup charge for each time you do it.
>> Or we can do a labeler. I have a labeler if you want to just if you want to order a couple blanks. >> Okay. Okay. That's something I'll discuss with with Lzette and we'll get that order um in place and we'll might get uh one or two blanks. Okay. Then All right. >> Okay. Sam, you have everything. You
know, if you want to bedazzle anything, it go to Sam's house. Um, Jess, this is a planning meeting. I didn't know if you wanted to say anything. That's probably not what we're supposed to do, but I Is there something that you wanted to learn here today or talk about? Jess is the
new events person at the Fort Myers Beach Chamber. >> Hello. >> Um, I was listening in for the cruiser appreciation day. >> Okay, that's what we're talking about. Okay, super. >> Okay. Um, I am really not sure where to
start, but John, let's start with you since you have done a ton of work on the nonprofits and on our um how we're going to be set up the day of the event, our tables. So, why don't you just tell us where we are, what's outstanding, what you need help with.
I think I think one of the more easier places to start and maybe get this off the list. Um I believe you said that we have access to 10 8ft tables. >> Correct. 10 8 foot and then we'll have
eight six foot >> six foot. Okay. >> And chairs. >> Chairs are coming from the church. >> So I have 37. If I need to grab more, I need to know. I might try to grab 40 just
>> Yeah. >> Sorry. >> So, um, this is laid out as all 8ft tables, which you would be for permitting. So, the question is, I don't know what you've used in the past. I don't know if six foot tables have have been used in
the past. I I have no idea. Um, what uh >> I think we had eight footers last time. Yeah, because they came from the library. We're getting them from the library. You're getting from the library. >> So, I'm I remember them being long. >> Okay. >> I thought they were eightfooters, too. But,
>> um we I guess we only have access to 10 8-footers right now. So the thought was um this tables that have one entity displaying for example a turtle time uh we would give them a sixoot table and
any entity that's sharing a table we would give them a >> eight foot >> 8ft table. >> Okay. >> Um to make it a little bit easier to uh to share a table. Um, certainly the AAC merchandise display tables. I see no
reason why they can't be six foot. Um, I was wondering about >> when you're talking merchandise, you're talking about the prize drawing stuff. >> Well, we display. Yes. Yes. Okay. So, it's uh on the left hand side of the stage. Yep. >> Um, there's two of them there.
>> The event checkin, I would assume you probably need a eight foot table for checkin. >> Two stations. >> Yeah. So, >> are we gonna are we going to have the public and the VIPs at the same table? If if we are, the eight foot would be nice. We can Yeah. >> do one side each.
>> I think we did last time, didn't we, last year? Okay. >> So, if that comes down, I I think depending on who we wind up with in in the end is uh
is that strategy will make work. Um there may be there may be one or two tables that's low off but >> yeah we'll make it work. I think we can make it work. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> I mean maybe if we can put all of the 8ft tables with the you know multiples
up closer to the stage and put the six foots in the back. >> Um well up close to the stage are all the individuals. So they would be all >> six foot. So okay that works for you. >> Uh now again >> that actually would make more sense. So you get all your sixfooters up here and then you can have your eight footers in
the back. >> Like the last row will certainly be eightfooters and >> Yep. >> Um >> now the question here is I just unilaterally did this layout. Um >> I I didn't uh it hasn't been reviewed by
anyone. Um I don't know if uh if that's okay or if we should change. >> I submitted this to Nora which I believe you copied in. She's the one to route it up for approval to Yeah, I understand. But would would approval really involve um a
sum a solid layout of who's going to be at what table? >> I don't think that matters. I think they just care about where we're putting spacing. >> Correct. Yep. >> And and if this is pretty much exactly what we did last year and that was fine. And it's, you know, so much better. Look at all of this. They're actual little squares.
>> I mean, they approved a hand scratched drawing last time and this is way. >> Yeah. >> Do we need to add Ed Ryan and his table and his PA? Yeah. >> Well, last year we had him on the stage. >> Yeah. >> But we probably need a table. Yeah. For that. >> He needs a table for that. >> He has his own table.
>> Oh, he has his own table. All right. >> He has a table and uh all his PA stuff in one little area. So, you can just >> tape off whatever. >> Yeah. I mean, he'll be on the stage until >> 6 by8 uh for him to put his speakers in his table. >> And then and then Fly Healey. I'm
waiting for the word back from him, but let's just plan to put a I was thinking about maybe putting a table for him up around the stage area. Um, you mean outside the grid? I I I think the question is, is he going
to share a table or is he going to have his own table? And um and I don't I mean we can swap. When you say up by the stage, you mean in the first Let me >> Or we can have them off to the side behind the event check-in table like off
to the side over there like right before you. >> But but that's not really where the public's going to go. >> Okay. >> You know, um I I really my recommendation is we decide to put them down and I'm calling this the grid. >> Okay. >> Um he gets down in the grid somewhere.
Uh the question I think is is should he share a table or should he have a full table? >> Okay. And >> that sounds good. I mean, I see you have open spots, so we can put him there. I know. I see you have Fly Healey here, so sorry, I missed that. Um, yeah, but no, that'll work as long as we have a space for him.
>> Um, but >> that'll work well. >> Okay. >> I missed that. Sorry, I didn't know. >> Yeah, I understand. Um, so the question would be again, would you recommend he share a table or you recommend he has his own table >> or do we
>> What do y'all think? I mean, I kind of think he's our >> if he has if he we have plenty of room. He's our main sponsor. I' I'd say his own table. >> Yeah, that works for me. >> Okay. So, I would uh I would move him over where that one open table is >> in the middle right there. >> In the middle there and put him there.
Okay. Um then that uh I think a lot bears on what happens with the fire department and cabinets for clean water. um as to who should be up in that first block. I think that first block as it's laid out, if we get those those two entities,
that'll be perfect. >> Um >> we're waiting on an answer from Captain for Clean Water. >> Okay. >> Is I'm That's a question I'm asking. We're We're still waiting on an answer for them. >> Yeah, I guess we are. >> Yeah. I mean, we haven't really heard
back from anyone. We've reached out multiple times to different email addresses. Okay. >> So, I don't know if anybody here has a better contact with them. >> I think I have a contact for them. I can reach out to them. I'll try to reach out to him this week. The other thought I
had on the way over here is um is maybe talking to Dave on the MURF committee and I know they've done a lot of interaction with Captain Clean War. He may have an insight too. So, I'll leave it to you two to work that out.
>> What's happening with the fire department? Do we have any feel for that? >> Um, I don't know. I mean, after I had that email conversation with um the person who was kind of the admin assistant, she said she was turning it over to the chief, and I have not heard back.
>> I'm going to give Nora a text and see if she has an update for us and everything since she's doing that process and everything. >> Yeah. So, this is having them attend like they did last year. >> Okay. Okay. This isn't for the Okay. >> No, this is their safety. >> I got you. >> Um >> team,
>> if you look in the grid, Curtis, if you look at the the grid closest to the stage. >> Yeah, I see. >> We have them set there. >> I see the question mark. >> Um it would be >> I think I think it'd be a priority to get those two guys up there. >> Well, and I also planning to attend the
fire department opening >> on Thursday. So, if I don't talk to somebody before then, I will talk to them there. So, I will I will handle the fire department. I'll work with Curtis on captains >> for clean water. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> I think we're going to be there for the fire department, too. So, I'll see you
there. >> I have put an invitation out to the Lions Club and I'll follow up with them um probably tomorrow on the phone because this is the first uh weekday that they were able to see the email.
Um, and I I anybody have an in with those I'm I mean I don't think anybody has more of a connection than anyone else. So probably me reaching out is is just fine. >> Yeah. And just so you know um you know there were a few people who were not
able to make it this year that had attended last year and last year was our really first year for doing this whole thing. I think that's Ted. Um, so you know, we had a a nice group of nonprofits and this year is the opportunity to continue to try to build
our stable. So I looked through um some other organizations and listings and and gave some other opportunities for people and given what the Lions Club does on this island, they just got done with Shrimpfest, um, all of their environmental efforts. So, they were the
one of one of the ones that I suggested might be a good fit to have if if they're available. They do so much. >> The other thoughts I had is and and again looking at this, we certainly can spread it out and fill all
the tables. It's just who would we like to have that isn't committed. Um the um >> so you want to why don't you go through who's a yes? Go just tell us a little bit about who's a yes and who isn't
committed and and who's a no. I think we can see that for ourselves but it might be helpful to just go through the list for people. >> Yes. Um I think we're done with the grid. >> Yep. I think we're done with the grid. >> Yeah. So, it'll just be Jenga when we get to,
you know, we'll figure out who needs to go where. >> Yeah. >> Um, hey, before we finish the grid, before we finish the grid, um, um, can I just say about Nora and, um, and Abby, >> first of all, can we get them on the VIP list since they're doing so much work,
they weren't on that. And the other thing is, um, they mentioned they might want to put the 30 anniversary t-shirts out. So, if they do, can we set aside a spot on maybe our merchandise table or somewhere else for them? And that's what
when you text her, see if she wants to do the the t-shirts, the 30th anniversary t-shirts, and let them know that that we got a pass for each of them because they're probably going to cover it, >> take pictures. >> That works for me. Anybody have any issues with that? Okay.
>> Not not me. I think it's a great idea. >> Yep. >> Um, and Yeah. >> Um, we could actually if we have an open spot um we can actually have the the the town
>> have a have a table or spot that they can >> um >> Yeah. So, I don't think they need their own table unless we >> don't have any fil. >> If we have extras, it'd be nice. >> Yeah. >> All right. Um,
so let's go down. I think I think again. Are we done with the grid? >> I think we're done with the grid. >> Okay. Um I think when we get closer I can uh revise this as a working document that we can have um the day of um I
think the earthing is the signs. Who had all the signs? So So at some point um you >> Yeah. So, here's what I have for signs. I've these are all laminated ready to go. And I've got a staple gun, but we're
going to have some tape also if we want to tape them. I've got 13 laminated menus. >> And I'm sorry, Sam. I was talking about table signs. >> Oh, sorry. Um, >> we'll come back to that. >> You will come back to that. >> I can make those up if you want.
>> Okay. So, when we get this locked down, um we'll make sure it comes it comes to you by via the proper channels and then you just make the the >> just print them out and I'll >> just do what we did last year. Um >> if you want to if you want to print them
out, I'll laminate them for them. At the same time, I laminate the final list of the gifts of the prices. >> Do you have the ability to print them? M >> because it it's just uh I mean it's just >> a name >> 8 and a half by 11.
>> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. You'll give me the you give me the list. I'll print them for all the tables that are we'll do that a day or two before. Right. >> So everything's up to date. I'll do the gift list. I can print that. Yeah. >> And I'll do for all the tables. >> So I think this may be fluid up until a
few days before we um we have to lock it down. >> But I don't think you need more in a couple days. Sam, right? >> No. >> His laminator's really quick. >> Yeah, it is. Yeah, someone should take note that that I have to do that. >> I will. >> Okay,
>> I will. >> All right, so um I think that handles the grid as long as uh the permit comes back without any issues with it. It certainly shouldn't because it's not much different than last year other than
it's it's more easier to read. Um, if we're going down the organization or the event participants, um, Bay Oaks is is an N. Um, we we uh,
Beach Kids Foundation was one of the ones we had in reserve. I don't know as we go down here, Chris and everyone else. I think we ought to decide if the ones on hold should be reached out to or we want to still keep them on hold.
I'm kind of on hold for them. I mean, I think it's really important to get captains and um >> Okay. So, so that's that's point. Um let's let's just run I that's good direction. So, captains for clean water is still a u a maybe and that's
certainly a a big deal. I think that's got to be a priority. Um and we all got to do whatever we can to make that happen. Coast Guard Accelery isn't in. Um, Crow uh is a no. They they can't come this year. >> They had another obligation.
>> They had another obligation. The uh garden club is in right now. They are in a sharable uh table, but if we do wind up having a full open table, they may be a good one >> to put there. Ask them to bring some examples.
>> Um Ster Island Historic Society is is in in hold. um the uh Fly Hilo tours. So, that's definitely an in. I I understand from you, Curtis, they're definitely in. Um are you still pending if they want a table?
>> Um I'm still I'm still uh pending. >> Okay. >> Um on hearing back from them um hopefully this week I should have something. >> Yeah. >> I like I said right now I think we should plan for them to have a table. >> Okay.
>> Um right now and then. >> Okay. Sure. would like to get a solid on that. I mean, everything not here. We got to get a solid on >> um art association, chamber of commerce, and community foundation. They're all in. Uh Lions Club, we just reached out
to, so we'll see. I think they're pretty good probability, but obviously I don't can't speak for them. Um Fort Myers Beach Fire Department life safety team, that's the fire department question mark we have on the grid. Um, we talked about
that and I think uh Chris's idea is excellent there. Um, the women's club has decided not to um to my disappointment. Um, Fort Myers Beach Yacht Club is is in um Friends of Bay
Oaks and Friends of Lovers Key uh both have decided this year that they're not going to participate. And I don't I'm a little confused about Friends of Bayokes and Bayoks, but I don't know if Friends of Bays was if they were even in last year. >> No, they weren't because Bayox really
wasn't operational. I don't think too much at this time last year. So, I think by having Bayok's here proper and Neil there manning a table, he can talk about all of the things that are available at Bayokes right now for people who are visiting the island, including of course the pickle ball courts, which you know
Sam is a big fan of. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, so they're they're cool. Friends of Madan's past preserve and sterile bay buddies. I think that would be a great one to have. >> So, um, who was chasing that? Was I
chasing that? I was chasing that. Has anybody got a an in there that knows anybody personally at the at Friends of Menza's past? >> And if it's if it's No, it's okay. I was just wondering if anyone had it. >> Um, all right. So, I'll push that
harder. Who was who was Joanne Simmer? >> That's going to be >> Osteig, right? >> Okay. Um, friends of the library are in. They want to share with the
community foundation. We have them set up that way as as as a table. Uh, friends of mounds house is is in. I have them set up as a as a sharing a table. So, uh, Fort Myers or or FWC boating
safety education that was in your hands, Curtis. I don't know if you had a chance to do anything with that. >> I don't have anything on that right now. I apologize >> because I just think that would be a great one to have at this show. um
that or and the Lee County Sheriff's Office uh of Marine Safety Operations. That's probably even a even a better one if we had to choose between the two. Um which is which is actually uh I'll show
you Curtis on line 24. >> Okay. >> Um Golf Harbor Yacht and Country Club is a no. Uh, keep Lee County Beautiful is a yes. >> Yay. >> And where did I
and I'm a little confused about that one. >> You heard from them directly. They got back to you. >> I have them down here is but I don't have a memory of it. >> Okay. >> And I don't know if I have them on the grid. >> I don't see them on the grid. >> No.
>> All right. That's a I really think they they should be and would be great to have them. Um, so I'll go back and double check that one and make sure that I got that one right. >> Okay. And
>> if they are, I get them on the grid. Going over to uh I guess the page three starts with line 25. Marine Environmental Resource Task Force. >> Yep. >> So we have them in as an in.
>> Yeah, you do. Yep. And you've got them on the grid with native plant. >> So are they any are they different? Are they different than 24, Curtis? Are they Are they kind of the same thing? >> No. >> No. >> County Marine Environmental Resource
Task Force. >> Oh, that's Murf. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You want to put Fort Myers Beach on the side so you know? >> Yes, that's Murf. >> I was looking at the two because I got confused for a second as well. Yeah, actually have him on the task as as on
the grid as MURF and there was a request to have uh MURF the plant native plant and the FM uh the the Fort Myers Beach Yacht Club to kind of be consecutive because
some of the same people want to work same. So we we have got them on the grid that way. I don't think there'll be a problem with that. >> Excellent. Um, native plant is in Osteigo Bay Foundation. We've gotten no response
back from them. Um, should I follow up with them? >> Do you know Joanne Curtis? >> Um, yes, I do. Joanne. >> Okay. >> Okay. Um, Pod Protectors is in and we have them set up as a full table. Um,
but I I again, this is where I'm looking for some sort of direction. Uh, I thought pod pitures and turtle time would could use full tables. Um, >> I think they could. I mean, they typically have big displays and a lot of information to share and I know Monica's
Monica Lynn is very excited about being there with pod protectors again. >> Okay. So, um, that's great. restore Fort Myers Beach uh archives arches. >> Um I I think they would be in my case
very last on the list. >> Um and they're they're on hold now and I'm not sure there's any um I'm not sure they they they would uh >> really add to the ship. Um, San Carlos
Salem Power Squadron are an in. Um, Turtle Time and What's Up FMB are are all in. So, so we have 16 who are committed after hopefully uh, Keep Lee County
Beautiful is part of that 16. So, 16 committed. And if we think that we've got um the the six tables that are closest to the stage as being individual and the ones in the back is being shared, we have an opportunity to have 24 organizations. So we have like eight
spots total left that we could fill. I would say that my priorities would be adding captains, >> confirming Fly Heli, the Lions Club, the fire district,
Friends of Matangas Pass, and either one of the boating safety or Lee County Marine Ops. BC LC which I have less. >> So I don't know if anybody So that's one two three four five six seven of the eight >> and Osteigo
>> and Osteigo. Yes. Sorry. Yeah. So that's I mean if we could get all of those or half of those we would be in really good shape and and absolutely maxing out the number of spots that we have. >> Okay.
>> Yeah. And I think in that scenario then our table complement of 10 8-footers and eight sixfooters will not be an issue at all. I think everybody will get what we'd like them to get. >> Y >> okay so assignments Curtis and you and
me are on captains. >> You're on fly hely. John you're going to follow with the Lion's Club. I'm going to follow up with the fire. Uh, John, your friends of Matanis Curtis, your FWC in Lee County and Osteigo.
>> Okay. >> And I got to confirm. Keep Lee County beautiful. >> That's beautiful. It's beautiful. >> It will be beautiful. >> All right. I'm sorry you went through that so fast. >> I'm sorry, dear. >> Um,
>> you want me to do it for you again? >> Yes. >> So, so captains, me and Curtis are doing that one. Okay. >> And so I've just kind of circled the ones that I think are prime. Uh Curtis is working on Fly Heli eight.
>> You're doing number 12, >> right? Number 12. >> I'm doing number 13. You're doing 18. >> I'm doing 18. Okay. >> Curtis is doing 21 and 24. You're following up on 23.
>> Yep. and Curtis is following up on 27. >> All righty. Like I said, if we can >> lock down half of those, we're in great shape. >> Yep. Absolutely. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, I think we had what, 18 or 19 last year. So,
>> had 19 last year. >> Yeah. So, I think, you know, if we get to 19, 20, >> we're in really good shape. >> Absolutely. >> And we'll have an interesting mix of organizations. will have some that are new to the party and some that were there last year. >> Sam,
>> other than um the Fort Myers Beach shirts, are we going to let uh Jackie sell merchandise or any of these other people sell merchandise or that's strictly for the town? >> I I believe we talked about this last time and
>> they sold merchandise last year. We did not necessarily sanction it, but like captains had some merchandise for sale and if there's no risk in so doing. I don't have any qualms about it. I think it's another way that they interact with the public and we're not we have nothing
to do with their sales. >> Correct. >> And feel free to give away stuff too. >> Yeah. Absolutely. >> Yeah. >> People love chachkis. >> Yeah. Yeah. I think that's everybody agrees with that, I guess. >> Yeah. >> Good. >> Yeah. Um like captains was selling hats.
Yeah. And anything to promote their organization we shouldn't uh get in the way of. I don't think so. >> I'll buy that. >> You'll buy >> You'll buy it. >> I'm going to buy that. >> You'll buy that. >> All right. So, we got we got you set up to buy um from everybody.
>> That's right. He he'll be collection. Ed, are you still on the line with us or did we lose you? I don't see a smiling face anymore. So, >> I think he got rough seas. Okay. >> Okay. Okay. >> Um, so I think that's uh pretty much it
for event participant. I got a good plan there. Um, so now we get into inind sponsorship and um I open for everybody else's uh input here.
I I think that the Key West Express that's not marked right because we do have that. We do. >> We do have that, >> right? I actually physically have it. >> Um Oh, what's not there, Curtis, was your contact information. If you get a
chance, send that to me so we can >> My contact information. >> Yeah, Key West Express came from >> I can I can send it to you. I have her information. I think I've sent it. >> Okay. Um Pancake House is is Ed. Uh I haven't gotten any followup from Ed
about that. Um so we we need to to get some input there. Um also Ed's got the moundhouse which we do have we do have their
donations but we um don't have the contact information for that. So, um, when that gets around to it and has the chance to, >> I can follow up on that. I'm liazison with, um, Cellcap as well. So, what are you looking for, John?
>> Um, wherever we have these these yellows, we want to fill in for future reference. And these, >> you just need the contact information. >> Need contact information. Yeah. Just just like we have for the others. >> I'll send that to you. >> So, next year we have some place to start instead of sitting around saying who should we contact. I'll get you
Karina's >> okay info >> and you know anyone that any one of these squares that are yellow and somebody has information for me. You don't have to come from they can come from anyone that that knows what should be there. >> Absolutely.
>> So can you tell me which where should I be looking to see what prizes we actually have in hand? I think that's the next sheet, right? >> Uh yes, you're absolutely right. >> If you look on page four, >> okay,
>> and you look at the first column, you have descriptions of what we have received. >> Okay. All right. >> All right. Um if you need more detail on that, I can let you know. What I intend to do is to take these individually and package
them. >> Y >> um so we can hand them out as as envelopes to the winners or and uh and certainly make it easier to I will also make a a list for Ed to make it easier to announce. Um last year we were kind
of calling out you know this is who it is, this is what you want. Ed say well you know so we'll try to make that a little more formal this time around and that should be easier if we package these a little more um a little more tighter than we did last year and >> label them good >> and label them good
>> so we have more than 20 I just did a quick count and we're planning to do two different drawings one at 1:30 and 2:30 so I guess I would leave it to your discretion John knowing which things we have to determine which should go into which bundle
>> that's fine I I can come up with a with a list and and shoot it to Curtis and he can distribute it and see if there's anything I want to change. >> Sam, what you got? >> Ed lost his connection, but he's going to try to log back in. >> Okay. >> Um,
yeah, I I think we got a good >> a good selection. That'll work real well that way. Just split them. >> I have an update on my yellow boxes. >> Okay. >> Number 54. >> Hold on. >> On your play bill. >> 54. 54.
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. Matanzis in that of course is Penny. >> Yes. >> And I have a one night stay. >> Matanzis in. And that's 54.
One night stay and gift certificate. Yeah. That that's on the >> Did you have that updated? >> Yeah. The next page. >> Um >> Oh, the next page. Next page. >> Oh, sorry. That's the page after this one. >> Page six. >> Okay. >> So, this has all the
>> You got it. >> Yeah. >> Oh, >> yeah. All I was looking for on that one was confirmation that we had a contact name. >> And I still have two questionables. So, >> I'm going to get I'm going to wait until after Easter to get back to him. I've already been to them a couple times for
so and wahoo Willies. So, I'll I'll let John know. >> Okay. And of course, I every time there's a significant change on here, I update it and send it to to Curtis to to distribute it as as we choose to. Um,
>> I'm the only one with yellow boxes. >> Well, Sam, I didn't want to mention that. >> I didn't want to mention that. Ed has a few. >> But you have a laminator, so we forgive you. >> Yeah. Oh, >> Ed's back. >> Hello, Ed. Did you have anything that you wanted to add from our riveting
discussion so far? I missed most of it, but I just wanted to remind you that uh last year we had trouble with power at stage. >> Okay. >> The power we needed a ladder to to get up on a pool to run power to the stage. So, um I don't know if you want me to in
the back public works would take care of it. I don't know how we want to get anywhere. >> Curtis, how do you suggest we plan for that? >> I have extension cords. >> Okay. Okay. And then I will go to Harbory.
There's no power to that state. So all the stuff use that. >> Okay. >> Right there by Snug. >> Okay. >> I'll just verify that that I'll just verify that we can use that power source. >> But do we need Ed's saying are you Ed? Are you saying we need a ladder to get
up there to plug in? >> Last year we did. I think actually one of the Rangers came and helped us to start by another birthday last year but the uh the power right at the stage didn't work so we had to hold somebody
>> so so yeah if I remember correctly I don't I don't recall a ladder being used but I know that we had to get um those wire uh covers so we didn't have any the extension cords we had to cover so it wasn't a
trip hazard or anything like that. >> That's correct. >> Yes, that's correct. >> So, um I I'll make sure we have a couple of those as well. I'll put those on the list to grab. >> And we're watching you ride up and down like you're riding a bucking Bronco. So, that's why we were smiling just a little bit.
>> Please remind those people there is no wake zone in the Anchorage area. >> Yeah, it's a little rough out here today. As a backup to the backup, if we get into a situation where we have trouble obtaining power, I do have a
small generator we can use if it's necessary. You may >> So do I. We have I I have two generators. >> That will be >> I know. You have to brag. >> I know. He just put you in your place, didn't you, John? >> Yeah. >> Forget about my generator. No, that's
great. That that's a good backup. Yeah. Um, Ed, the the the one thing we're talking about when you uh when you disappeared was the uh status of the Allen Pancake House. Um, as far as their their contribution. Um,
>> no answer. I don't have an answer from them. I've stopped by there, dropped off paperwork, and haven't had any response. If someone wants to go back there and try them again, they'd be more than welcome to.
I don't feel like we need at this point. I mean, I feel like we have a really good selection of wonderful items and >> Yeah, >> let's just try and tie up our loose ends and we'll just keep them on the list for next year. >> I I I think that's a good idea.
>> So, we're two weeks out now. >> Yeah, we're two weeks out. >> Yeah. Uh so, just moving on. I think I think we're good with inkind sponsors. Anyone Anyone have any questions? >> No.
>> Moving on to page number five, which actually it's probably easier just to jump over to six. So six has if you look down at the at the lines at the bottom 69 through 76
I think uh this is a little bit of counting that you need to verify Curtis but I think it works pretty much the way we we need it. I it's everything I know about and I think the number comes up to kind of what we said the last time with
the addition of a of $165 um contribution by by uh by um Chris. >> Well, and mine was an inind so it shouldn't really be added toward the monetary total. So um
and it yeah it listed under fly hely tours. So that 165 is really just an incind because I paid for the insurance certificate. >> I'm sorry that it's right on one page and wrong on the other page. >> It's all good.
>> Yeah. So you think I should move that? >> Yeah, put it put it somewhere else. I mean or at least put it down underneath your monetary total. Otherwise, it's going to show that we have that much money in our bank account, which we don't because that was a I just paid it out of my pocket rather than,
you know. >> Okay. So, I'll move it up to inind. >> Yeah, that'll be fine >> because everybody wants an insurance certificate so we can raffle that off. Just kidding.
>> Three years too late on that one. Everybody wanted it then. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Nina, more comments associated with monetary uh sponsors. >> Got some really great
>> gifts here. They're really >> Absolutely. So, thank you so much to all of our wonderful, generous community organizations, many of whom are chamber members. So, we thank all of them for all that they do for the island, for this event, and for other events.
>> And John doing a great job getting this all organized. >> Well, thank you. Um >> yes, >> just makes everything easier and certainly if a particular person is not here next year, we shouldn't lose any of
the information that they have. >> Yeah. No, this is an excellent master log that you have created for years to come for us. So that'll be that we'll be able to use. >> Yeah. And you know, other committees, you know, we invite them to use our information that we've gathered as well
if they have need to reach out to some of these organizations. So it's something that could be available to other people. >> Absolutely. So um I have all this in the cloud, but I also suggest that you store it um so it's stored at least two places. I do.
>> Okay. And what you don't have is you don't have the creation file for the the layout for the stage and I'll send that to you when we're finished with it. >> Okay. >> So you can make >> Does that need to go to Nora or is that just for our records? >> No, no, no. What Nora has she has? >> She has. Okay.
>> And that that should end. Okay. Right there. All right. Got it. >> Uh this is um just again the stage next year to make it easier for you next year to plug in. >> Okay. >> And change things around. Just just trying to create tools that we can easily use next year. >> Absolutely.
>> Um love it. So if nobody else has any information that needs to be added, Sam, you going to send me some contact information and some updates? Um I think we're pretty good about updating this document. >> Yep. I think we're into load in load out
unless you have something else. >> Okay. Um I just have one suggestion. I mean you've done a wonderful job of highlighting in green the ones that are Yes. Maybe you do the same thing for the people who have uh given us inind donations so that's more easily >> y >> visually >> yep
>> readable. But yeah, thank you John. I mean big big congrats, big kudos for putting this together. >> Puts us in a really good place. >> Absolutely. >> Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Um, >> this is for the Coast Guard Auxiliary from Ted.
>> Excellent. Thank you, Ted. >> Okay. >> Um, >> you good? >> I think I'm good. >> Okay. >> Just going to make that note. >> All right. So, nonprofits and inind, we're not really going to look for any more inkind donations unless they should walk in the door. Um, nonprofits, we
have our list that we will go after and try to uh confirm their attendance. Uh, I will send a recap to you, Curtis, after this to remind everybody of their assignments. Um, insurance certificates done, permit should be good to go with
the CAD drawing. So, uh, I will leave it to Nora to let us know if she needs anything else. Let's talk a little bit, John, about how we send final information to the nonprofits, you know, on how they come
to us, how we're going to unload them, where they're supposed to park, what what are you thinking there, and what decisions do we need to make so that you have that detail? >> So, I this is just my recommendation, right? I say
we create one document >> and >> and one person sends it out >> sends it out to everybody. Yeah. To all of our sponsors. >> Yeah. Have no no problem at all doing that. And if you see what I've sent out
on my invitation uh letters um at the at the bottom it says we will provide this information uh as we get closer to the event. Now, >> if if you look at that and I can break out what we told them that we were going
to tell them. Uh I think all needs to happen is making sure I'm telling them everything that we want to tell them >> and then making sure the answers that >> So, when do you think we should get that out to them by? Should it be Monday or should it be Wednesday >> of next week?
>> Yeah, Monday. >> I think Monday. >> Monday. >> Yeah. So, would you like me to draft something, John, and send it out for review, or do you want to go ahead and do it? And I think the biggest questions are what time do you we want you to show up
and then where can you park? And did we give them parking passes last year? Parking was on their own. >> Parking was on their own. >> Okay. So, I think we just need to tell them we don't want them all to show up at once either.
>> Correct. But a lot of people showed up pretty early. >> They did >> last year. >> Yeah. >> Which is beneficial to them for parking, you know. >> I wonder if in the information we send them, we say, "Hey, you know, you can show up in like 10 minute increments and
then they tell us which time they're coming." I don't know. Maybe that gets way too complicated. Probably. Okay. >> I I think it does. Unless you guys were had a big issue with that last year. Did we give them a parking slip last year? >> I thought we did give them something.
>> Why would you not? What? I mean, >> because everybody already has a sticker to park under the >> I believe we did. Um, >> yeah, >> I think things are coming back to me. I think that we created a slip for them to park and we told them to put it in their windshield. We got code to sign off that
>> for beach parking on the bridge. >> Yeah. >> Under the bridge and it is only our sponsors, you know, this isn't for the whole event. It's only the the nonprofit. >> Nonprofits, correct? >> Organizations. And now it does include San Carlos, old San Carlos Boulevard also, which it didn't last year.
>> So, do you want to check with code enforcement and see if we can do that? And so, that is a key piece of information. You know, when you show up, we will give you a a slip for >> Y >> complimentary parking. >> That's fine. I'm I'm almost positive we did that last year, but I I'll check
with code and I'll get that. >> So, going back to your question, let me draft it. >> Okay. and then um send it to Curse for review. >> Okay. >> There's going to be some blanks that we're going to need to fill in. >> But we um >> um Ed, I know you brought your dolly
last year. Is that right? >> Ed's frozen, >> but he's a very Oh, there he goes. >> Yeah, he did bring his dolly last year. >> Okay. So, there he's back. You brought your dolly last year, right, Ed? >> Yes, I did. >> Do you think Do you think we need more
than one dolly? Everyone can use more than one dolly, but I'll bring mine and I think I can't remember someone else brought one last year, too, but u I'll bring mine and I think we'll be good.
>> Okay. Okay. And we'll all be around to just help tote and set things up. All right. So, we've got the parking taken care of. Um, I'm assuming we'll be there like starting at 9 to set up. >> Yeah.
>> And then what time would we like them to start arriving? Would we really like them to be there between 10 and 11 and set up by noon? >> Let let me see before you get there. Let me see what I've written to them. Okay. >> Previously, >> because I think I already said that.
>> Okay. Chloe. Just because I've already said it, I also said that we would give them final details. So, let's just see. >> I hate the maybe jump on to something
else until I find this. >> Okay, that's fine. Uh, we'll go to supplies quick while you're checking on this. So, >> Curtis, you've got clipboards for us? >> I do have clipboards. >> Okay, we've got We're getting name tags. You've got a cooler. You've got the drawing tickets. You'll have something
about the mooring field, duct tape, zip ties, the boater list for check-in. Yep. >> I'm just going through all the stuff. The keychains, >> double-sided velcro, the jars. I don't think we'll do donation this year. That really did not work very well. So, I think we'll just do jars for the
drawings. Uh hand stamps, and you're getting chairs. >> Yep. Got all that. >> Okay. Um I will have a VIP list for check-in. I've already got the permit in the works. insurance certificate is done. I'm getting the tables.
Um John, you'll do the list of the nonprofit speakers for short intros. We can probably put that together. You know, if we don't know the exact people who are coming, we can do that day of Sam, as usual, your water and ice. Uh
you will work on as you as you talk to the Boers, you'll come up with maybe three or four Boers that we could have Ed do interviews with. Uh okay. still outstanding is sort of that TP sign thing where we wrote all kinds of information about what was
going on. Any idea where we can get one of those? >> Just does the chamber have a TP sign >> like a sandwich board sign? >> We might put on my list. >> Okay. >> All right. I'll work with Jess's.
>> Yeah. One or two would be swell. >> I just don't recall that last year. I >> But I sent you a picture of it. >> I know. I know. >> I don't know where it came from, though. Where that came from. >> It might have been Jen's. I don't know. >> I I think you're correct. >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. I think you're correct. >> All right. So, we jump back to this. >> Okay. Let me We're almost done with this. >> Okay. I'm sorry. Go ahead. >> No. Signage. So, we need registration signs, the Moringfield VIP, and the public. That was you, Sam. Um, menus and
meal tickets. You've got the menus already done. Drawing prize rules. Let me clean that up for you and I will send send that out when I send the recap. >> Okay. So, I'll reaminate that. >> Yep. >> Drawing items signage. So, John, you're creating the drawing items and which
drawing they're going into. You'll provide that to Sam. He'll laminate it. What else? >> All the signs have been updated to 130 and 230 drawings. >> Thank you. >> So, update that on your on your um
rules. I think it's on there. Okay. All right. I will work with Jess on seeing if we can find a standard board. Okay, John. >> So, what's been sent out so far is a paragraph that says, "Further details on setup and parking will be provided as we
get closer to the date. The event is scheduled from 12 to 300 p.m. So, plan to arrive to set up between 10 and 11:00 a.m. with tear down at 3 p.m. Members of the Anchorage Advisory Committee will be available to assist you with both setup
and tear down. Um, so I guess we need to first verify if what's said here is is what we want as far I think the biggest point is is we want them to arrive between 10 and 11 for setup. Is that is that okay?
>> Yeah. And I think if we can have them come in from the same direction, I think that was something that we talked about last year. And correct me if I'm wrong, Ed, we want them to come in um heading north toward the park, you know, by nervous Nelly's rather than
coming down. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Right. I mean, I think that's easier for setup if they come right into that curve of the park, >> right? They came down >> pressing.
>> Go ahead, Ed. I thought they came past our person's under bridge and they had a little kind of a little cut out. >> Yeah. So they come down Crescent. >> They come down Crescent. They'll park right there, drop off all their stuff
and then they will go on St. Carlos, old San Carlos right there. And then and then they can take the left by so that takes them the right traffic pattern to get into the parking lot to park. So, it's just a good traffic
pattern in circle. >> Any chance we could conone off that as they make that left-hand turn onto Old San Carlos, that first park, first parking spot um in front of Wahoo Willies, so that when we get more than
one person coming in, they dropped off pretty fast last year. They unloaded pretty quick. But if we could cone off just that one parking spot, that first one as you come around to Wahoo Willies. >> Yeah, I'll see. I'll see what I can do. >> A couple cones for that. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have cones over there and
>> my area. But yeah, that's not a problem. >> So, did that make sense, John? Come down Crescent. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. >> In fact, um I just I'll probably put out a little drawing showing the drop off area and how to approach. Of course, have you guys look at it before it goes
anywhere, but I think having a drawing is better than trying to explain it. Um so, we'll see. All right. Um, any additional information on what they should have or what we should expect
them to have to to unload? Ed, is is that something that we've just taken care of for them or I I know some people brought their own dollies and some people did. Should I mention anything associated with that? >> No, I think if we've got at least one dolly and we've got all hands on deck,
we should be fine. I mean, I I do remember it going pretty darn smoothly. We just took everything out of their vehicles, put it to the side, and if we knew where the table was, we'd move it over there for them, and they could park and come back. >> We helped them unload and everything last year, but I
mean, they're used to doing these events, so they'll bring whatever they need. >> Yeah. >> You know, themselves. I don't think we need to >> specify >> specify that or anything. >> All right. I mean, maybe just talk about how we're looking forward to them engaging with the public and so anything
that's interactive is terrific >> and we're encouraging all the VIPs to try to order their meals between 11 and 12, >> right? >> So, you might do that there, but >> yeah, we tell them and check in, right? >> Yeah. So, you might mention that, John, that you know, get there in enough time
to set up and perhaps have your lunch before before noon. Do you want to put that in this letter or you want to deal with it and check in? >> Why don't we just deal with the day day of and see how it's going? All right. >> Yeah. >> Um,
now we we do want them at some point to go to the check-in table or >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Once once you get there and get set up, please go to the check-in table >> at the front of the stage. >> Everything that's vendors and and VIP is
going to be in yellow. the check-in sign and the vouchers and the vouchers for the VIPs will all be numbered the and they'll be yellow. Everything else will be white signage. Um, so I will have Snug Harbor last year have them keep the
yellow vouchers of course because they get paid for that, but I also have them keep the white vouchers that are the $28 that people are paying for. That goes towards our minimum also. >> Sweet. >> All right. I think I got enough to draft it. Okay.
And then we can tune it. >> Um we need to go back to the to the parking slip. We're talking um we're going to give them a slip that they can put in their >> window >> window. That's that if >> correct. That's what I'm thinking. I
think that's what we did last year. Um so I will um >> so we'll provide just trying to work out the language. We will provide one >> parking slip >> parking slip and I don't like the word slip voucher pass.
>> Stay pass for u >> one vehicle >> for one vehicle for one organization. >> Correct. Yes. >> What's the term you use? >> Parking day pass. >> Day pass. >> Day pass. >> And do we want to mention that that
would uh be under uh under the bridge or All the Fort Myers Beach, any Fort Myers Beach, >> parking spot >> spot >> under the bridge or San Car. >> Okay. So, wherever there's a sign that says >> Yeah. That that says beach on it.
>> Right. Now, um Jen and I did this last year, so maybe maybe Chris and myself may think about doing it this year. was ev every vendor came in and they got to their table, we
would go around and ask them if they need anything, they need any help, are they okay? >> Absolutely. >> Yeah. >> So that uh >> can be their liaison, >> good logistical. >> Okay. >> And most of them it's it's just good most of them are fine, but it's just
good to make them feel like they're being looked after. >> Okay. Hi. >> Okay. when we greet people at the dock. Um, whoever's down there, Curtis will be down there off and on. I'll be down there off and on and we'll all just take turns walking over there. Maybe we could remind everybody to use their 10-ft
painter just in case it stacks up. Do any of them use them now? >> Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, we tell them because uh we have to to fit everything in. So, we got to make room. So, yeah, we they we recommend them using the long painter at the dinghy
dock. >> Yeah. and we'll remind them on that day because it might stack up hopefully. >> How is promotion going to the voters, Curtis? You feel good about it? You have people talking about it? >> I do. Yeah. Yeah. We have some people asked about it during our during our pumpouts. Um we're going to keep uh
we've been um pushing out the flyer to all of our voters every week. Um we'll be pressing it hard. This week we have flyers down around um all of our all of our um uh
facilities right now. Um so um I think it's going well. >> Good. >> All right. The only other thing I have to talk about is just confirming run of show. Um so 9:00 committee arrives for setup. 10:00 nonprofits start to arrive.
11 to 2:30 the meal is available at Snug Harbor. We'll start eating at 11. Try to get done by noon. Um registration opens at noon with Sam and Ted and Tina. At 1, we'll have Ed Ryan introduce Fly Heli Tours. Hopefully Steve Overy will be
there and we'll do a little Boater panel. Okay. >> At 1:30, we'll do our first prize drawing. At two, we'll do some nonprofit intros. At 2:30, we'll do our last prize drawing. will tear down at three and the
concert will go on at 4. So, I feel pretty good about where we are right now. I mean, we just need to confirm a few logistics with the remaining, you know, participants that we haven't had confirmed, but I mean our >> some of the nonprofits, that's on me. So, I'll get a round turn on on that
right away. >> So, table and chair setups. Um, I guess >> I'll take care of all that. When they g you gonna take care of all that? >> The table and chairs. Yeah, we we're gonna have the tables already today. Yep. >> And then I will get the chairs. I'll be
here early Sunday to make sure we have all the chairs. We're going to probably we're going to probably have some chairs >> on that Friday and then we're going to have to pick up the rest on Sunday is what it's >> seeming. We're waiting to hear back final word today on that. So,
>> do there um I was thinking more of day of show. >> Yeah. table and chair chair set up. Do we >> We have kind of helped Curtis and his crew have just gonna bring them over and so I'll bring them over and then y'all can start setting them up where they >> Yeah. >> need to be.
>> Did we take them? Did you put them in your truck and bring them over or did we just carry them? I remember we just carried them. >> We just carried them. I have them in the in the office space in our office of where we're going to be moving into. That's where they're going to be stored right now. So, and it's right around the corner. It's not far. So, >> there will be some sweatiness. I'm just
saying. >> Yeah. But that's fine. Um, Chris, can you since you're going to be there early, can you walk over to Wahoo Willies and do a little thing on Beach Talk Radio? >> I will if Ed will have me. Absolutely. John, I'm sure he's listening. I'll talk
to him. So, Ed, I will send you uh the rent of show and all of the information so that you have that shortly >> and I think Ed will probably mention it regardless at his show, you know. So, >> okay, I will put together a recap of all
of this. Right now, I don't know that we need a meeting next week. But let's but let's reserve judgment in case something, you know, goes ary. If if you feel uncomfortable about something, contact Curtis and then he can work with me and we'll set something up. But Ed, do you feel good about things from
wherever you are riding the high seas? I'm >> in the sea. I feel a little bit >> What did you say, dear? Feel good. >> Okay. Good. Thank you. >> And you look good. >> Yes.
>> Ted, how about you? You feeling good? >> All is well. >> All right. All right. >> Well, thanks to everyone for an amazing job putting this stuff together. It's uh was a little bumpy, but we're good and I think it's going to be a wonderful event.
Now, >> I don't know if we talked about a bad weather plan. Um, >> no bad weather. That was our plan. >> Okay. >> I mentioned it. It got mixed. >> Yeah. Well, I'm not sure. I mean, >> that will be Curtis will be our point,
man. If there's anything to update on that. >> Yeah, >> I will. >> We watch fire and and check in. >> We'll know a couple days ahead of time. >> Yeah, I think so. I think hopefully our bad weather's now and we're good for the next several weeks. >> Yeah, exactly.
>> We need spring full time now, you know. >> All right. >> Would anyone like to adjurnn us? >> I make a motion that we adjourn. >> Second. >> Thanks, Ed. All in favor? >> I >> I We're adjourned. Thanks, everybody.
Yay.
